Georgetown in DC is worse: doesn't even have a metro stop anywhere in Georgetown. Officially, geography (Georgetown is very hilly). Unofficially? Keep the poors out.

My brother lived on Cape Cod years ago when they were debating bringing rail service from Boston to the Cape.

The locals opposed it, even though traffic on the Cape is absolutely brutal in summer, because “we don’t want the trash from Boston getting out here” aka keep the poor people out.
